Is Jisela on the new season of the Challenge? Previews suggest that she may be

Someone had commented to me about the fact that Jisela (The Quest) was seen in one of the previews for the Gauntlet. Although there is no official word yet, other castmembers might be thrown in for a twist. BMP has promised that this game has twists galore. Maybe bringing back other castmembers is a feature that this game has yet to reveal. Look forward to a lot of drama... Because the way this game is played, there is a lot of room for backstabbing and alliances.

Last episode of South Pacific aired last night; Rebecca makes an appearance with her band

Road Rules South Pacific just ended its run last night. Mid-season, it was thought to be that South Pacific would be the last season of Road Rules. There were several reports, however no official announcement, that BMP would stop with this twelfth season. However, probably because of its impressive ratings, BMP has decided to continue on the series. Casting has begun for the thirteenth season. This season, Road Rules consistently beat out The Real World Paris in ratings. For the past few seasons, Real World ratings have been at an all-time high, primarily due to the reason that it was a lead-in to the Osbournes. However, with the Osbournes bowing out early this year, Real World has been turning in dismal ratings... with Road Rules actually coming out on top. They even actually used South Pacific casting department to cast the San Diego season. Personally, this season of Road Rules was great. It was reminiscent of the older seasons, and the quality of this last season was probably not last seen since Australia. The only issue with the show is the voting out rule. Although, Chris, Tina, and Jeremy were great additions to the cast, it throws the group dynamic that is the heart of Road Rules. Road Rules was never a reality game show, it was more of Real World on the road. Our advice to BMP, save the games for the Challenges and Battles, revert to the old Road Rules design.

Rebecca (Seattle) will be making an appearance with her band, Becky. You can check her out tomorrow on the Sharon Osbourne Show. Check your local listings for airtimes. (Notable: Keanu Reeves, star of The Matrix, is in the band.)

Both Kit and Rachel (San Francisco) have tried out for the spot. Email the four ladies and tell them how much you love Kit and how you want to see her on the chair permanently! Email:

San Diego house is revealed; Kit appears on ABCs the View trying out for a co-host spot

Some news on the Real World House... First and foremost, Real World Houses has added new shots of the San Diego house. Including shots of the house at night... Check out the light setup for this year's season. And some news on the history of the house.

Obviously, the house is located in the Point Loma area of San Diego. Although it is a waterfront property, many native to the San Diego area believed that the house would be located in other sections of San Diego. La Jolla, an affluent town, home to UC San Diego, was thought to be a front-runner to the San Diego home. Also, Mission Beach, site of MTVs Beachhouse, was also thought to be a great choice for the setting to the Real World. Also considered was Downtown San Diego. However, Point Loma became the evident choice, surprising many San Diego natives. Point Loma is known for fishing... and isn't a trendy spot in San Diego. Probably chosen for a greater sense of privacy, the waterfront home was once home to a seafood restaurant. Shortly before the roomies moved in, the house was known as the Blue Crab Restaurant. Once the restaurant went out of business, a company set up their offices in the building. And now it's known as the Real World house.

And tomorrow, Kit (USA Tour 1) will be vying for the fifth co-host spot on ABCs The View. If you remember, Rachel (San Francisco) tried out for the spot this past month, sitting in with the ladies for two days. So far, no other MTV alumns have been interested in the spot... But the last time when The View was looking for a co-host, both Rachel (San Francisco) and Lindsay (Seattle) tried out. We will also tell you how you can help Kit tomorrow. The final decision will be made live November 26. Before then, most likely, finalists will be invited to sit in with the ladies one more time.

Jacinda appears in Vanity Fair and more news on the Robin San Diego arrest

Jacinda (London) has recently appeared in an issue of Vanity Fair magazine. In it, she talks about her two new films, The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Ladder 49 with Joaquin Pheonix. She even alludes to her Real World days as well in the article.

And more news about the San Diego arrest from The San Diego Union Tribune. Some members of the cast were filming on Pacific Beach (where MTV crews set up their beachhouse a few years back) at a bar called Moon Doggies. Apparently, Robin got into an altercation with a marine who was also at the bar, and Robin scratched his arm and face. She posted bail on Wednesday, but no word yet on Robin's fate on the show.

Thanks to Eddie and LE for their information!

News suggests that castmember Robin is arrested during filming of the San Diego series

The Smoking Gun is reporting that a castmember of the Real World: San Diego has recently been arrested. 23-year-old Robin, a female bartender from Florida, has been arrested for a bar-room brawl with no one other than a marine. There is no picture of Robin on Smoking Gun's site (NOTE: Smoking Gun has NOW obtained a picture of her), but they have confirmed that she was a part of the cast. Never before has a castmember been arrested during filming, so this puts new light on the situation. There has been drunken fights on the show before (Seattle's David), but no arrests have ever been made. She spent some time in a jail before posting bail. It's unclear on whether or not she is going to continue on with the show.

Domain name opening up, Tami appears on KTLA news, Paris DVD will be released

Just something that we need to notify you of: Mid-summer, we reported that we were going to go public with an official domain that we had already purchased. We do have the dot-com already. However, the issue soon became web hosting. Well, with the enormous amounts of hits that we got all summer, we found out that we simply could not afford web hosting because the huge amount of traffic the site experiences monthly. So, that is put on hold until further notice.

And KTLA5, a local WB affiliate in Los Angeles, apparently reported this morning that a Reality TV Award Show is in the works. After a couple of years of the burst of reality television shows on mainstream networks, an award show is finally being planned. However, they were quick to mention that it would be both hilarious and prestigious... One of the categories according to KTLA??? "Best Female Skank" The show should launch in February.

And Tiger reported to us an interesting piece of information on the Paris DVD: Yes, on November 11th the Real World That You Never Saw: Paris DVD will be released. But also, it will come in a two-disc set with the 9 Degree Hookup Show that aired on MTV. Both DVDs are available at amazon.com.
